|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The triplet of bases which are trnaslated into an amino acid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A mutation that occurs when one or more nucleotide pairs are removed from a gene. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A useful sequence of a gene structure which is translated into protein. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It translates the sequence of bases in nucleic cacids into the sequence of amino acids in proteins. It uses three bases to specify an amino acid. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A mutation that occurs when one or more new nucleotide pairs are inserted into a gene. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The noncoding segments of a gene which interfere with the useful parts. These segments will never be translated into proteins. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One of the three major types of RNA. This type is used for DNA to transcribe information onto it. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Changes in the sequence of bases in DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Mutations which do not detectably change the function of the encoded protein. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The error in which repair enzymes replace the correct nucleotide base with an incorrect one.
Also known as a point mutation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The error in which repair enzymes replace the correct nucleotide base with an incorrect one.
Also known as a nucleotide substitution |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An untranscribed sequence of DNA bases in the order TATA which causes the doble helix to unwind and transciprtion to begin. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The molecule that carries the information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One of the three main types of RNA which combines with dozens of proteins to create a ribosome. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The complex structure which catalyzes the translation process in the cytoplasm. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This enzyme synthesizes RNA and initiates transcription by binding with the promoter. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The name of the codon which defines Methionine and begins all proteins. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The name of the codon which releases the newly synthesized protein and hte mRNA thus ending hte synthesis of the protein. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The DNA strand from which the newly synthesized strand of RNA is complementary of. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process by which the information contained in the DNA of a specific gene is copied into RNA. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The type of RNA that is responsible for synthesizing the specific amino acid from an mRNA sequence. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
